Mix by Kate Richbourg
For 2021’s Monthly Mixes we wanted to do something a little different! 2020 was a rough year, so in 2021 we want to make sure we celebrate each day to the fullest. For each mix we’re taking inspiration from that month’s birthstone, creating gorgeous blends inspired by...birthdays!
Increating a mix inspired by Garnets, January’s birthstone, Janice came across this photo from the Gemological Institute of America, showcasing the many hues this stone comes in. While we all know and love the “traditional” burgundy color, there are so many others...many shades of green, pink, yellow, and orange...it’s a beautiful rainbow all in one stone!
All 8/0s, this mix is made of both Round Rocailles and Hex Cuts, and lends itself beautifully to beadweaving, loom work, and our past Monthly Mix project ideas.
